The wildflower

Is love worth living if it cannot last?

Held in beauty but hampered in power

Dreams of eternal fire and constant lust

Turned into a domesticated wildflower

Kneel and pray, unleashing a desperate plea

Memories are harsh and bitterly sour

Seek shelter wherever you can flee

Gazing at the life you now must devour

Are you the same spouse hidden in darkness?

Cut the old cord that binds you to your past

Longing for a fierce love to fight the starkness

Breaking free from the oppressive mask
